Danielle Mack had a dream to race the Ironman World Championship as a professional triathlete. She was just a little girl at the time, but without hesitation, she shared her goal with her parents and locked her focus on making it happen. Danielle entered the world of triathlon with IronKids, and she fell in love with the sport.She worked hard for her dreams for many years, and she experienced significant success along the way. Danielle came screaming out of the gates as a professional and won her first Ironman. She went on to claim two more Ironman victories and eventually to the fulfillment of her dream to race Kona as a professional, but her path was not without challenge.Just a few years into her career, Danielle received a devastating diagnosis that put everything she dreamed of on the line. Doctors told her that she would never be able to race at an elite level again, and even trying could drive her health deeper into the ground. She had put everything into her sport, including her identity. She was lost in darkness and desperation not knowing that what seemed like an overwhelming setback was actually leading her to her greatest blessing.One evening, during a normal conversation with her husband, Jeff, about their day, Danielle experience a moment just as powerful as the one she experienced as a little girl watching Kona. Jeff told her about a mindfulness certification that his company was involved in, and Danielle knew that she had to do it. The first requirement was to complete a 10-day vipassana meditation, yet Danielle had never meditated a moment in her life. Feeling a deep desire and drive to follow this new path, she took the first step forward. Without knowing anything about meditation, she sat, and from that moment onward, everything about her life would change.This conversation reminds us that there is a beautiful plan organizing for us behind the scenes, and when we surrender to the flow of life, our greatest joys and clarity rise to the surface. We are so honored to be bringing this graceful champion to the YT community, and we hope that you find great inspiration from Danielle's story. Thank you for supporting the show, and if you are interested in taking your support deeper, please check out our Patreon page where you can receive perks like LIVE yoga classes, gear, and monthly chats with me and Coach BJ.Thank you to Jeremy Allyn for his meticulous post-production work on this episode, we are so grateful to have him on our team.Namaste -Jess

Danielle Mack, Ironman Champion On The Tremendous Blessing of Her Greatest Setback

I have the pleasure of talking with Danielle Mack about her recent Kona Qualifying race at BOULDER!  Sadly, this was the last race for this year and the race will no longer be returning to Boulder.  We discuss her past with racing and her health conditions.  While she’s been to Kona as an age grouper, finishing at this race with a slot to the big island is such an emotional experience and we talk about what this means for her.  Something many folks do not know about her is that she still meditates every day. I should certainly take notes on this. Thank you for coming on the show and I look forward to following you this October!-Weather that day:  64-70Water:  WSL-Age Group:  PROHeight:   5’2”Weight:  120Calories per hour: ~200PSI for this course: 90lbs Bike Elevation Gain: 2,103ftRun Elevation Gain:  550ftSwim: 1:04:50T1: 4:06Bike:   4:55:12T2:  1:55Run: 3:26:07Total Race Time:  9:32:08-Gender Rank:  3Division Rank: 3Overall Rank: 23-Follow Danielle,Facebook:   Danielle MackInstagram: @daniellemacktriWebsite: www.daniellemack.com-Sponsors:1st EnduranceBlue SeventyBoulder CoachingCrossover SymmetryRocket Science SportsStages CyclingWheat Ridge Cyclery-Follow Coach Terry:Instagram:  @PerfectRacePodcastFacebook: www.facebook.com/CoachTerryWilsonWebsite:  www.CoachTerryWilson.com
